Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The tale of the dog’s tail
Got cut short
In the grand scale of things
Not much to report
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
What are we made of?
Sugar and spice and everything nice
Boom-a-rang of love

The tale of the dog’s tail
In The End
The grand scheme of things
Return-send… return… send… return… send
The End

Instrumentation: Vocals, Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Loop Pedal, Keyboards, Synthesizers
Written and recorded live

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Caught the scent of a varmint
About to sniff it on out
No matter where h might have went
About to sniff it on out
If I’ve got to dig it, dig it I will
Dig it, dig it, dig it… dig it until…
Going to dig it ’til I fulfill

Caught the sight of a varmint
About to sniff it on out
Out of sight he might have went
About to sniff it on out
If I’ve got to dig it, dig it I will
Dig it, dig it, dig it… dig it until…
Going to dig it ’til I fulfill

A song about an investigative journalist… disguised as a dog.
Chords: Bb Db / Bb Eb / Db F

LYRICS
In the fine sublime
At the End of Times
A canine makes it home
Fortunately, unconditionally
Our home
Above personally
Olive branch and dove
Is love

In the surreal feel
In the present deal
A canine makes it home
Fortunately, unconditionally
Our home
Above personally
Olive branch and dove
Is love

In this bizarre bazaar
It’s not that far
A canine makes it home
Fortunately, unconditionally
Our home
Above personally
Olive branch and dove
Is love

Finding your way
You’re not alone
Finding your way
Back home
Finding our way
We’re not alone
Finding our way at home

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you ever had to chase
After your dream
Within reach…
… but out of touch
The gremlins deem
Don’t let the dog out
Or you’ll find out what I’m talkin’bout
Don’t let the dog out

Let me tall ya all about it:
The was a rabbit
With a “too bad” habit
Making the yard habitat
(Imagine that?)
Don’t let the dog out
Or you’ll find out what I’m talkin’bout
Don’t let the dog out

there was a frog and a groundhog
Didn’t jump fast enough
For the groundhog, it got real rough
Forever hangin’ tough
Tough love reigning down from above
Tough love

Have you ever had to chase
After your dream
Within reach…
… but out of touch
The gremlins deem
Don’t let the dog out
Or you’ll find out what I’m talkin’bout
Don’t let the dog out

LYRICS
It’s been a long time coming
Hope she won’t run away
A long time coming
Hope she’s here to stay
Strike up the band and dance
For an ‘ole fashioned romance
In our arms, we sway

It’s been a long time coming
Heard she’s on her way
A long time coming
Heard she arrives today
Strike up the band and dance
For an ‘ole fashioned romance
In our arms, we sway

It’s been a long time coming
Ask her hand, she may
A long time coming
Without further delay
Strike up the band and dance
For an ‘ole fashioned romance
In our arms, we sway

LYRICS
I can see it in your eyes
What is it you hear
I can see it in your eyes
Obvious… clear
What is it that you hear?
The twitch of your nose
Flow of scent grows
Is it growing near
What is it you hear
Your intuition shows
Our solution knows

I can see it in your eyes
What is it you hear
I can see it in your eyes
Obvious… clear
What is it that you hear?
The tilted head pose
Curiosity grows
Is it growing near
What is it you hear
Your intuition shows
Our solution knows

LYRICS
Oh, it’s really snowin’
Won’t go out again?
Now, the wind is blowin’
Watch the dog’s tail waggin’
Running through the fall
Dodging through them all
Oh, for goodness’ sakes
You can’t avoid the flakes

Oh, still really snowin’
At the door again?
Know where you’re going
After where you’ve been
Running through the (snow)fall
Dodging through them all
Oh, for goodness’ sakes
You can’t avoid the flakes

LYRICS
Really not missing
Moaning and pissing
How things use to be
The hustling bustling
Pushing and shoving
Always got to me
A new day has dawned
For those who smile on
… smile on… and, on….

Really am wishing
Hugging and kissing
Will come back to me
Loving and touching
Holding unfolding
The way it ought to be
A new day has dawned
For those who smile on
… smile on… and, on….

LYRICS
Angels sing
Shepherds come running
Bizarre star
Brings wisemen from afar
And, here we are
Twiddling thumbs
Complaining of free-dumbs
While the past comes
The future goes
Now the future’s passed
(Wow, that happened fast)
Do you think anyone knows?
There it goes!
There goes some more
Going to be future-poor
If we even endure, or…
Hear the angels sing?
Let’s get running
Toward the bizarre star
It’s really not that far

LYRICS
Hey, Baby
Can I make you smile
Hey, Baby
Even for a little while?
In a manger, there he lay
All I’ll say is,
“Can I play?”
And, Baby
Maybe make you smile for a while
If by chance
It’ll make you dance…
Or, just sway in a swaddlin’ way
Baby, can I get you to dance?

LYRICS
The fractals are falling
Wonder if they’ll lay?
Even a light dusting
Would be OK
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

The snowballs are flying
Better duck and/or sway
The wind blow is drifting
The fractals disarray
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

The runners are gliding
We’re on our way
The bonfire is burning
On a waning winters day
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

LYRICS
Maybe a fire will help inspire
As song for a sing-a-long
We can sit close and rub our noses
Under the mistletoe practicing poses
A Christmas picture
For our future
… to endure

Sit by the fire
Take spirits higher
Sing a long
To our song
Wrapping gifts
Gives a lift
Thought of snow and memory drift
A Christmas picture
Of our future
… to endure
